Bernie's running mate

I was thinking that, if Sen. Sanders won't release his medical records, should he not at the very least, let us know who he is considering as his running mate? God forbid anything should happen to him once he wins, but we need to know BEFORE we consider nominating him, who would take over in the event of a tragedy. And YES, this also goes for any male candidate over the age of 76 (which is the average life span of an American male) or any female candidate over 81. (note: those life expectancies are for people born in 2019 so for those born in the 1940s it's probably less).

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

He's not going to win, he's not going to be the nominee, people are not salivating for socialism, a more powerful bureaucratic government, or losing their health insurance to a government bureaucracy.
